THE CREATIVITY NEXUS

Human beings and space share a symbiotic relationship. We live in and occupy space, developing a relationship with our surroundings through the sensations we receive and interpret. Moreover, we have our ways of perceiving and interacting with space.

These experiences are linked to our memories, creating a unique sense of belonging to a place.

For this reason, this project aims to create comfortable spaces where citizens can interact and feel a sense of belonging and pride in their community.

In every city, the citizens are in charge of giving life to the cultural identity. This identity can be transmitted through art, thus transforming itself into a symphony of colours and emotions that others perceive through the experience in space. Therefore, these elements are indivisible and dependent on each other.

ASCEND ESTATES

Humans and housing have a symbiotic relationship. We live in homes and connect with our living spaces through interactions. Our perceptions and engagements with housing environments are significant in our daily lives, creating a unique sense of community and neighbourhood connection. This project aims to develop residential spaces where residents can interact and feel a sense of ownership and pride in their surroundings. Residents play a vital role in nurturing the community spirit in every neighbourhood. This spirit can be expressed through shared spaces and communal activities, enriching the area with a tapestry of interactions and memories that others can perceive through their engagement with the space.

These housing diagrams represent the LIVING AREAS and COMMON AREAS in a spatial conceptual manner (mass). corridors, recreation areas, meeting rooms, storage areas, laundry facilities and green areas.

EXPERT ENCLAVE

Experts enrich our lives, and we connect with their knowledge through interactions with them. We also have our ways of understanding and incorporating expert advice.

These experiences are linked to our personal and professional development, fostering a unique sense of trust and closeness to the expert community. Thus, this project seeks to establish networks where experts can engage and take pride in their contributions.

Experts are responsible for shaping the intellectual landscape in every field. This identity can be shared through collaboration and innovation, creating a rich tapestry of insights and progress that others can perceive through their interactions with experts.

These first sketches reflect my first contact with the material I decided to develop. Through drawing I understood better the textures, qualities, colours and shapes that are part of the essence of this material.
